Qin Guanlin sat up straight instantly and turned to look at Pei Liuxuan. "You mean the Su family is related to my missing sister?"
"I only caught a glimpse of the Su family's little girl from afar that day, and she really looks just like the little sister that Mom kept hidden."
Qin Guanlin frowned deeply. "How could it be such a coincidence? At this critical juncture for our family, if the Su family really had my sister's child..."
He didn't say what he was going to say, but both of them knew perfectly well that this meant another family would be joining the fight for the inheritance.
Qin Guanlin rubbed his temples. "Here's what you'll do: find an opportunity to get to know the Su family kids better later and ask them about their mother."
“If I, an adult, were to rashly approach a few children, it would definitely arouse suspicion from the third and fourth brothers,” Pei Liuxuan said thoughtfully. “I think the eldest girl in the Su family is about six or seven years old, about the same age as our Hanhan.”
I'll tell Hanhan later to go and play with them and ask around.
Qin Guanlin patted Pei Liuxuan's hand, saying, "You're so thoughtful."
Pei Liuxuan smiled gently, "By the way, have you found out who arranged those two nurses who took care of Dad before? Was it the third or the fourth son?"
"The third brother is one, the fourth brother is one, and the one with the problem is the fourth brother's man."
"She poisoned him?" Pei Liuxuan asked in surprise.
Although families like theirs resort to all sorts of dirty tricks when it comes to the crucial moment of vying for power.
But the idea that they would poison the old man and try to kill him is still too horrifying.
"That's not it," Qin Guanlin said. "She only did some minor things. It's hard to say who did the poisoning."
"Go talk to Hanhan first and tell her to tone down her princess-like temper when she's with the two Su girls, so she doesn't offend them without finding out the truth."
"Okay, I'll go tell Hanhan right away."
After Pei Liuxuan left the study, Qin Guanlin got busy again. For him, he had not been involved in the old man's affairs at all, so this was an opportunity. As long as he could take this opportunity to kill the third and fourth sons, then only he, the eldest son, could inherit the Qin family.
As for that useless second son, he wasn't even in his consideration.
Meanwhile, Pei Liuxuan entered his daughter's room.
Six-year-old Qin Sihan was scrolling through Douyin on her iPad when she heard her mother's words. She immediately frowned, pouted, and refused, "Mom, I'm not going!"
I don't want to hang out with those country bumpkins from Chongqing. My girlfriends already laughed at me yesterday when they found out those guys were staying at our house.
Pei Liuxuan's face hardened. "Who told you they were country bumpkins?"
“That’s what all my girlfriends say!” Qin Sihan said matter-of-factly. “Even Sister Li Wanjun doesn’t play with them!”
Pei Liuxuan was helpless with his spoiled little daughter, but he still patiently said, "Yucheng is also a big city. They are not country bumpkins. In addition, their family may be richer than ours."
Don't listen to Li Wanjun and your clueless girlfriends' nonsense. Listen to my mother. Tomorrow, go and play with them properly.
Ask them more about their mother, and after you've asked, remember everything they say and tell your mother when you get back, okay?
Qin Sihan pouted reluctantly and remained silent.
Pei Liuxuan continued, "This matter is very important to your parents. You must help your mother complete it well, okay?"
Qin Sihan pouted, "Then I've done it. You have to buy me the latest Chanel bag!"
Normally, Pei Liuxuan would never have agreed to his daughter's request.
But now, she could only reluctantly agree, "Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you, as long as you help Mommy find out about those two little girls' mothers!"
Qin Sihan happily slid off the sofa. "Okay, Mom, I'll go ask right away!"
Pei Liuxuan was still worried after watching his daughter leave, so he went back to the second-floor balcony of the small building and found a spot with a great view, looking down at the garden below.
In the garden, near the training ground, Su Xiaowu was enthusiastically practicing martial arts with Su Lei, while Su Qianqian and Xiao Ruanruan were picking a bunch of flowers and making their own perfume.
Susie sat cross-legged on a flat artificial rock, picked up a pebble from somewhere, and also took a chipped bowl.
They plucked the petals off and threw them all into the broken bowl, then started to pound them into juice with pebbles.
Little Ruanruan held a delicate crystal bottle shaped like a goldfish in her hand. Watching her older sister's bold actions, she twitched her eye. "Sister, are you sure that crushing these flower petals to extract the juice will make perfume?"
“Of course, I’ve always done it this way.” Susie said confidently.
"But I read in a book that perfume is made by distilling flower petals, then purifying them, and finally getting the perfume." As she spoke, Xiao Ruanruan still held up the beautiful crystal bottle to her sister.
This would make it easier for my sister to pour the extracted petal juice into a bottle.
"Perfume, perfume, as the name suggests, is water with a fragrance." Susie said while carefully pouring the petal juice, "Making perfume doesn't require such troublesome processes as distillation and purification."
"Little Softie, smell this! Doesn't my perfume smell wonderful?"
As she spoke, she brought the broken bowl close to Xiao Ruanruan's nose.
Little Softie: ……
She didn't seem to find it fragrant; in fact, she found it a bit nauseating...
This scene was witnessed by Qin Sihan, who had come to find them.
Qin Sihan rolled her eyes at the broken bowl. "Ha, using a broken bowl as a toy, what a country bumpkin. Mom even lied to me that they were richer than us, she can't even keep her bragging to herself!"
She strode arrogantly toward the two sisters, her nostrils flaring, and said, "Hey, I'm going to ask you two a few questions now, and you have to answer them honestly!"
Su Xixi gave Qin Sihan a look as if she were looking at someone mentally challenged.
Finally, that fairy-like Li Wanjun left, and now another rich young lady has arrived... It's really...
But that look from her instantly hurt Qin Sihan. "What kind of look is that? How dare you look at me like that? Do you want to get beaten up?"
